Geometer's Sketchpad Examples of "investigations" in Geometer's Sketchpad prepared by students in my Methods of Teaching Secondary Mathematics class over the past few semesters. An investigation is a self-guided and self-paced worksheet that leads a student to "discover" a geometric property or theorem.
InteractMath InterAct Math is designed to help you succeed in your math course! The tutorial exercises accompany the end-of-section exercises in your Addison-Wesley and Prentice Hall textbooks.

NCTM Reasoning and Sense Making TasksIn order for high school students to be engaged in reasoning and sense making in the classroom, the task—what students are asked to do—is critical. However, each item in this task library contains much more than a student work sheet. While linking the task directly with NCTM’s Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making, NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and the Common Core State Standards, each item addresses:
Task Design: what the task is asking students to do (see Task Purpose, Task Overview, Focus on Reasoning and Sense Making, Focus on Mathematical Content, Materials and Technology, Assessment and the Student Activity sheet)
Teaching Design: how teachers might facilitate reasoning and sense making (see Use in the Classroom)
Student Engagement: what student might actually do in the classroom (see Focus on Student Thinking)
